Do not be misled by the title; this is a serious book on programming written by someone who has learnt his craft through hard work and experience. It is the kind of book that should be read at a desk with pencil and paper readily to hand. Sometimes a computer might be useful
If you are serious about your programming you should make an opportunity to read this book and then give it to someone else. That is, it is a book to read and digest not a book to be kept as a reference. Try to get your local group (if you do not have one, it is books like this that are a good reason for having one) to invest in a copy that can be passed round.
